Rodney Stuckey on Huskies and Zags

Eastern Washington started its season with a 90-75 loss to Gonzaga, and Friday night they lost 90-83 to Washington.

With the Huskies just two weeks away from their Dec. 9 game at Gonzaga, we asked EWU star Rodney Stucky what he thought of the match.

"GU's a really good team," he said. "They play hard. I think UW, they come out and give a little more pressure on the ball. GU's going to be tough. They handed it to us. But I think we were ready to play this game. GU was the first game of the season. We really weren't clicking with each other right away. When they play each other, that's going to be a battle."
